In an attempt to escape the miserable real world, I am going down the rabbit hole of learning how to crack #C64 games currently. Prepare for some n00b warez soon (if I can figure it out, that is). Definitely a fun way of wasting time so far. #ObsoleteSkills

This seems like it might be of interest to some folks around here. (Though I question how useful a Spectrum or C64 would be without adding a keyboard) https://www.hypermegatech.com/home-computer-handhelds/#c64-game-list-wrap

Remember the DolphinDOS x JiffyDOS patch for the #C64? It uses some of the superior disk routines from Dolphin with the Jiffy fastloader so you don’t need a parallel cable (just the Jiffy ROM in the disk drive). I just put it on my #C64Ultimate. Also: rainbow startup screen! https://csdb.dk/release/?id=137270

Tested various micros running this FLOATING POINT program. It derives Pi to 20 decimal places. Interesting stats. 1 N=20: L=INT(10*N/3): DIM A(255): Z$="000000":T$="999999" 2 FOR I=1 TO L: A(I)=2: NEXT I: M=0: P=0: FOR J=1 TO N: Q=0: K=2*L+1 3 FOR I=L TO 1 STEP -1: K=K-2: X=10*A(I)+Q*I: Q=INT(X/K): A(I)=X-Q*K: NEXT I 4 Y =INT(Q/10): A(1)=Q-10*Y: Q=Y: IF Q=9 THEN LET M=M+1: GOTO 7 5 IF Q=10 THEN PRINT STR$(P+1);LEFT$(Z$,M);: P=0: M=0: GOTO 7 6 PRINT STR$(P);LEFT$(T$,M);: P=Q: M=0 7 NEXT J:PRINT STR$(P) #RC2014 : 14 (thank you JonV) #BBCMicro : 19 #AmstradCPC : 22 (thank you Devlin) #AcornElectron : 25 #C128 : 27 (fast mode - thank you Jonas H) #VIC20 : 36 #AcornAtom : 37 #CBMPET : 43 #C64 : 43 #Dragon32 : 44 #C16 : 46 #Altair8800 : 52 #MSX : 53 (thank you Pixel Purrito) #C128 : 56 (default "mode") #ZX80 : 57 #ZXSpectrum : 68 (thank you Adam) Edit: now ordered (seconds)

I’m back into retro coding business tonight! i just launched my x16 commander computer (yes I have a real one) and coded a tiled scrolling background layer with some checkerboard and front layer with regular text scroller. Very damn #c64 alike style. Not perfect as font is ugly as shit but works and it’s smooth and I continue having fun with 8-bit assembly. Tommorow if I find time I’ll try to make font nicer, more Amiga style scroller and then I’ll publish it as bbstro maybe, or sth.. Fun… first graphics orientated project since autumn when I parked my retro 3D project somewhere in the middle of completing. I consider tonight as a drill to come back to the latter

My #C64Ultimate arrived at 10pm last night and the first thing I did today was to build my first levels in Wizard in 35+ years. It is actually a passable level. On the fourth try. Level name: "Distract-A-Rat" #C64 #retrocomputing #c64u

RE: https://mastodon.social/@samster/116093908713088888 (1/2) Thanks for the mention Samster. My journey with SID and the Z80 started way, way back in 2002, working out how to get it to play happily when connected to a fast Zilog Z80 bus on the SAM Coupe, rather than the MOS6510 it was designed for. 2003 saw the first commercial version of my SID Interface for the SAM Coupe. It's had a few tweaks in the years since and is still available. In 2020 I was asked if the interface would work on the RC2014 (Thanks Shiela!). Replied no, but then a few weeks later, yes!, having redesigned the interface in a version specifically for the RC2014 bus and integrating an interrupt controller for 50/60/100Hz - ideal for use with other soundchips too! This version has also had a few tweaks over the last six years since release, currently on v1.3. Can't add photos due to the 'quote' so will add a reply to this post with photos... (Nice to see this now implemented in Mastodon!) #samcoupe #commodore #c64 #soundchip #chiptune #demoscene #rc2014 #zxspectrum

The BCC#20 beam/stream setup was a difficult one to pull off, largely for self-inflicted reasons... But we're almost there. #c64 #demoscene #party

PDF magazine: REV'n'GE 177 (English/Italian) The PDF magazine REV'n'GE ("Retro Emulator Vision and Game") is available in English translation as well as the original Italian version. Where available, REV'n'GE's game reviews compare the implementations of classics between different platforms of the time. It also attempts to seek out lesser-known retro games. https://www.amiga-news.de/en/news/AN-2026-01-00117-EN.html #ZXspectrum #Amiga #magazine #Atari #C64 #MSX #Amstrad

Weiß zufällig jemand von euch, für was genau dieser Anschluss an der Front der Platine (unter den Tasten) der #C64 Datasette ist? Bei geschlossenem Gehäuse ist dieser weder sichtbar, noch zugänglich (weil hinterm Gehäuse). Wirkt irgendwie so, als könnte man da eine Datasette (?) anschließen. (bin gerade am Generalsanieren der Datasette)
